List Week: Top 50 WTF Moments in Comics

List WeekLIST WEEK continues here at ONCE UPON A GEEK!  Today’s list comes from the UGO.com and is the ‘Top 50 WTF Moments in Comics‘.  My thanks once again to my buddy ‘lessthan12parsecs’ for posting this list to THE UNIQUE GEEK (given how many funny links he posts, I really can’t see how he has time for anything else).

Here is how they describe ‘WTF Moments in Comics’…

It’s Wednesday. You just plopped down twenty (or more) of your hard earned dollars for this week’s crop of comics. You open up this month’s latest issue of your favorite monthly. When all of the sudden… WTF?! That’s right, something happens to make you lose your $#!t. Whether it be a new costume that’s really an alien or the resurrection of a long dead character, comic books have a long history of turning convention on its ear. Sometimes these moments are great; sometimes, not so much. No matter what the results are, the reaction remains the same. What. The. F*ck?

Great idea for an article!  This is a really fun list.  Just a few good ones to watch for include:

One thought on “List Week: Top 50 WTF Moments in Comics

  1. I’m showing my age, but I remember that stupid Superman vs. Ali cover. I was 8, and even then I had a total WTF moment. I didn’t buy it.
